I had my first bout with the need to buy an item of clothing. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and honestly I'm amazed it hasn't happened earlier. Good news is absolutely no tears were shed in the process. I didn't even realize what was going on, I must be a creature of habit because I unconsciously found myself browsing the Anthropologie website in search of the perfect loungers. You see, one piece of clothing I purchase at least three times a year are lounge pants! I love and definitely live in them! My primary job is "mom" and I can't be running around in sweatpants when I could be wearing fancy loungers at home! RIGHT?! Anyways, I was adding a pair to my online shopping cart, not thinking anything of it, and suddenly realized I was breaking my shopping diet! Seriously! I felt like a kid caught with her hand in the cookie jar. So close but I didn't buy them. Geez, I do have self control.... barely! Good news is they are all sold out, thanks Anthro shoppers for inadvertently saving me from a tragic diet splurge :-)
I think I'll try and sew a pair of cute loungers, maybe not as fancy as these ones that almost broke my diet but we'll see I might surprise myself!

I like the fact that you're coming up with a creative solution on how to create fancy loungers. I won't lie, I'm a bit of a shop-a-holic and I would have definitely "splurged" on the diet! Your post inspired me to do a bit of searching and I came across quite a bit of sewing patterns for lounge pants on Etsy.com, here's the link: http://www.etsy.com/search?q=lounge%20pants%20sewing%20patterns&ship_to=US
ReplyDeleteNot sure if purchasing sewing patterns is against your current diet, but if it isn't, there are some great choices for under $10!
Hope this helps:)
